In my last post I mentioned that I had a 26 hour stop over in Las Vegas during my ramblings in March. (20 of those hours I overlapped with my sweet Celeste.) I would never have put Las Vegas on my vacation list but I ended up loving my time there. If you ignore the gambling and other vices, it's a pretty cool place to tour. The architecture is unbelievable!! Bellagio was my favorite because 1) of the Italianate building and furnishings 2) the Conservatory, which was be-decked with plants for Chinese New Year and took my breath away 3) the sales associate in the Lobby Shop knew we were never going to buy a purse but she brought out even her most expensive line and let Emily and Celeste try them on--oh, that I had a few spare $$$ thousands--they looked so beautiful with those bags on I just wanted to buy them two or three and lastly 4) the water show...it was ballet with water. The temperature was just right for strolling and this city of lights and sights never sleeps so one can wander without being conscious of the time.
We stopped at La Creperie for crepes...the girls had hazelnut and chocolate and mine was a savory with vegetables, yummmmmm......Over the years I have seen the original "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign in movies and that is the one sight I really wanted to see (I know this means admitting to being old enough to be an Elvis fan). We were driving along when Nate suddenly pulled over and parked just out of a lane of traffic and the picture you see here was taken. I just found it on one of Emily's blogs (The Vegas) and I was so excited I "stole" it....now it's a double exposure.
